Premise Robert Allen (James Wolk), a Texan con-man, leads a secret double life. As "Bob", he is married to Cat and living in Houston while working for his oil-tycoon father-in-law.

As he schemes to take control of the oil business and finds himself torn between the love of two women, he must fight to keep his web of lies from falling apart. Development and production In October 2009, Fox made a script-plus-penalty commitment with writer Kyle Killen. In mid-January 2010, Fox placed a cast-contingent pilot order under the working title Midland. Marc Webb was signed to direct the pilot episode. In early February, Amy Lippman, Chris Keyser, Kerry Kohansky Roberts, and Paul Weitz were all named as executive producers. Casting announcements began in mid-February 2010.
